DHCP requests add the hostname option in dhcp_request_req() - this is cool,
except that the dhcp
spec requires that this option has a length >= 1 char.
Excerpt taken from RFC 2132:
3.14. Host Name Option
This option specifies the name of the client. The name may or may
not be qualified with the local domain name (see section 3.17 for the
preferred way to retrieve the domain name). See RFC 1035 for
character set restrictions.
The code for this option is 12, and its minimum length is 1.
Code Len Host Name
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--
| 12 | n | h1 | h2 | h3 | h4 | h5 | h6 | ...
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+--
At present, the hostname is added regardless. This appears to trigger a bug in
a specific Netgear
router that causes it's dhcp process to lock up.
closes #1405.
